Dimensional Tolerance Tables
Center to Center Tolerances
Tolerances are proportional to linear distances as shown below:
Center to Center dim |
Tolerance |
1.0" or less 1.0"-2.0" 2.0"-4.0"
4.0"-8.0" |
± .0002 ± .0003 ± .0005
± .0008 |
Linear Edge to Edge Dimensional Tolerances
Tolerances are dependant upon metal thickness as shown below:
Metal Thickness |
Tolerance |
.005" or less .006"-.015" .016"-.025"
.026"-.040" .041"-.062" |
± .0005 ± .001
± .002 ± .003 ± .005 |
Note: As a general rule
the diameter
of a hole or the width of a through slot cannot
be less than the thickness of the metal. This may
vary with the
thickness and type of metal used.
